Notes About The Poem

My late husband passed away on November 16, 2020  R.I.P.

That One Day

swept away and tossed about by vicious seas
somehow i managed to survive and drift ashore

dark the day my world imploded
when i wrote off forevermore my shattered heart

grim the day my life lost sense and reason
yet i managed somehow to march on through

harsh the day i walked you to the doors of death
letting go of your hand to become a widow

Mystic Rose Rose April 29, 2021 at 3:20 PM the hardest thing to do is walk the love of our life out the door. It takes a very brave soul to survive, and keep living. I pray you realize what an angel you have on your side now. Every day he sends you whispers of love through a portal of God's Grace . :) Line Gauthier April 29, 2021 at 6:48 PM Absolutely, Mystic.
